studio pill is pilu's space for crafting cg atmospheres that feel honest and calm. training in architecture shapes every render, from structural rhythm to the smallest tactile decision.
each project begins with sound and light, building up soft narratives where materials are slow and shadows hold a story. the work is anti-noise - quiet camera moves, restrained palettes, and minimal text. the gallery is meant to be felt more than read.
commissions span residential interiors, experimental exteriors, and visual essays for product and spatial brands. the approach is collaborative, iterative, and detail-obsessed.
layered lighting that feels cinematic but plausible. subtle bloom, dusk gradients, soft occlusion.
micro-surface storytelling - dusty stone, imperfect plaster, brushed metals that catch the eye only once.
frames sequenced as breathing exercises. minimal camera shifts, generous whitespace, stillness first.
available for collaborations, residency visuals, and architectural competitions. drop references, playlists, and moodboards - let's craft a slow experience together.
